<span>Homeostasis is the property of a system, either open or closed, that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, constant condition within an organism. (Eg controlling amount of sugar in the bloodstream, keeping waste levels at acceptable levels.) </span>
<span>Opening and closing stomata controls the gas levels within the plant. </span>
<span>Converting excess sugar molecules to a lesser number of starch molecules regulates sugar levels. </span>
<span>Excreting waste through the cell membrane prevents waste build-up.</span>
The metal heats faster than the water because it requires less energy to heat it up (it has a lower heat capacity). 4. Why do you think different substances heat up and cool down at different rates? ... Water has a very high potential energy due the intermolecular forces between the polar water molecules.
Answer:
The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behaviour. Elements whose atoms have the same number of valence electrons are grouped together in the Periodic Table. ... To form a covalent bond, one electron from the halogen and one electron from another atom form a shared pair.
